* To work around limitations of X11's keyboard handling systemd's
keyboard mapping hardware database (hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb) so far
mapped the microphone mute and touchpad on/off/toggle keys to the
- function keys F20, F21, F22, F23 instead of their correct key
- codes. This key code mangling will be removed in the next systemd
- release v258. To maintain compatibility with X11 applications that
- rely on the old function key code mappings, this mangling has now
- been moved to the relevant X11 keyboard driver modules instead. Thus,
- in order to ensure these keys continue to work as before, make sure
- to update the xf86-input-evdev and xf86-input-libinput packages to
- the newest version before updating systemd to v258.
